Also I just realized I hate remixes that basically take the same song and put four on the floor over them and call it a dance remix.

Barf.

Was it really a wall of sound on the original album ? All Things must Pass is more wall of sound to me.
As for Let it be Naked, it's a bit too naked for my taste and it makes me fantazise on a George Martin production.

Sorry, I was just referring to the long and winding road. No the whole album was not wall of soundedededed.

Also agree with the Sgt. Pepper (I think... I mean really both sound good).

BUT for the love of puppies did they butcher Nirvana's Nevermind. It's the only remaster/remix that I have to turn off out of outrage. The rest aren't terrible, but then again I don't really go out of my way to compare or whatever. When I put on Nevermind though, it's like a totally different record and ruined. Like bad.

Some remasters/remixes I actually think did well. I want to say pretty hate machine actually sounded fantastically better, but it's been a long time since I remember.

"Gonna Take A Lot Of River", "Beyond Those Years", "No Matter How High". and "Lucky Moon" from the Oak Ridge Boys were eventually re-done. To me, they should've been left alone. In my opinion, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the original recordings.

God bless you always!!!

It's all about nothing but money. Give me the original versions. I prefer my albums the way they were originally intended. Bonus tracks are mostly garbage that was meant to be left on the cutting room floor, and they mostly (with a few exceptions) sound that way. I don't want my albums remastered...there is mostly no real difference...and when there is, it usually sounds worse than the original.

The purpose of doing this is nothing more than trying to move more units. To make more money. To get people who have already bought an album to buy it a second time. Somehow, it works.

That's my opinon.

That practice was rife in the 60s with fold-down mixes anyway, so in some cases a modern stereo remaster isn't always a bad thing. True though that if an album was originally recorded in mono sometimes that's the best way to hear it, Sgt. Pepper and Piper At The Gates Of Dawn being prime examples. In fact I think the original mono of Sgt. Pepper beats any subsequent stereo issue or remaster hands down from a personal point of view.

I know, right? The new stereo versions are supposed to sound fuller, but to me they just sound THINNER.

And I just think the old Let It Be was a funner album. And I think the old Long and Winding Road was a gorgeous beautiful tearjerker that made me cry, and the new one just sounds like a demo that someone did. Heh heh
